The little black dress: every girl needs one, most girls have one... well, I actually didn't before now. This is what I wore to the opera house last weekend. It was a weird situation-- I was going to an opera house, but I wasn't going to the opera, and I had no idea what to wear. Of course I was over-thinking it, but I'm guessing that many of you can probably relate. I ended up choosing this dress because it can be dressed up or down, it's black (which I figured was safe), and really, I just like it a lot. It is a bit on the shorter side, so I threw some shorts underneath just in case there were any balconies or stairs in my night's future. I knew the best/final touch would be these Sea of Bees hair pins. I love anything by Sea of Bees and I was ecstatic to wear these lovelies.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, I was pretty appropriately dressed. Most gals I noticed were wearing dressy/casual dresses and the guys were mostly in collared shirts or button-ups. Even if I would've been wearing ratty old cut-offs in a sea of tuxedos, though, I'm certain I still would have had a blast.
I hope you are having a wonderful week so far!
Gorgeous outfit - your tattoo is freaking awesome too :)
